Job interviews can be nerve-wracking, especially when you're trying to prepare for tough technical, situational, and behavioral questions. What if you could rehearse in a safe, supportive space where mistakes are just part of the process?
This prompt turns ChatGPT into your personal mock interview coach. By simulating a real hiring manager, you'll gain practice answering realistic questions—and even better, you'll get thoughtful feedback after each response so you know exactly how to improve.
Here’s How to Use This Prompt Effectively
Be specific about the role – Include the job title and industry to ensure the questions are tailored.
Name the company (optional) – Adding the company name allows the AI to align with their known culture or values.
Decide the focus – Let ChatGPT know if you'd like to focus more on behavioral, situational, or technical questions (or a mix).
Answer genuinely – Treat the simulation as you would a real interview to get the most accurate feedback.
Follow up – Ask the AI to suggest better answers or retry the same question to improve.
Ask for tips – You can request extra help with body language, STAR-format responses, or specific question types.
Here’s the prompt:
Act as a hiring manager at [insert company or industry here] conducting a realistic mock interview for the position of [insert job title]. Ask me a mix of behavioral, situational, and technical questions that are commonly asked in this role. After each answer I give, please evaluate it, provide constructive feedback, and offer suggestions for improvement where necessary. Make the tone professional and simulate the experience of a real interview setting. Continue the interview until I ask to stop or request a summary.
Optional: Add special conditions like “Make the tone friendly but professional,” or “Limit the session to 5 questions with feedback.”
